Sick days and recovery

Charlie had another asthma attack last week that ended up in the emergency room.  Since that day we have seen several doctors and a specialist and feel much more informed and know what to do next time.  His asthma is triggered by viral infections, like a cold.  His cold started a week before we went to the emergency room.  Colds can not be prevented in the future, but we know how to start treating the asthma before it turns into a full blown attack next time.  
 He is very good in doctors offices and in the ER and we are just thankful he is feeling better.  He ended up missing his Halloween party with his friends this week, but we still dressed him up momentarily at home.  By Thursday he was feeling better, and on Friday Justin decided to take the day off work and treat Charlie.  We had a lovely lunch on the beach at Tanjong Beach club then we took him to the aquarium in Sentosa.  Charlie loved the big sea turtles.  He even sat through the dolphin show, which was pretty uneventful for anyone over Charlie's age.  Now that he is back to breathing better and not coughing, he is also back to his hyper active non stop behavior.  He is such a hand full, and can really test our patience on any given day, but his smiles and sweet gestures make me forget all that.
